  11. CW: that data breach of 153 million driving licences, good commentary

    "From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it “age” verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we’ve been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn’t waiting. Maybe it was already happening. ...

    "153 million scans of drivers licenses easily available based on this breach, with more being added all the time.

    "... this should be a massive warning to everyone pushing for age verification laws. You can have a “trusted” company in the space who brags about all the certifications it has. It’s in “compliance” with the GDPR, the CCPA, and every other law. It is “transparent” about its “privacy practices” and how its “sensitive identity data is handled responsibly” and…. for over a year it’s been leaking all of those sensitive records.

  23. The DoRaleigh Scam Report Popular Scams and How to Avoid Them

    Scammers are becoming more convincing, using artificial intelligence, caller ID spoofing, social media, text messages, fake websites, and emotional pressure to steal money and personal information.

    In 2025, consumers submitted approximately 3 million fraud reports and reported losing $15.9 billion, according to the Federal Trade Commission⁠. Imposter scams alone accounted for $3.5 billion in reported losses.

    Raleigh and Triangle residents can reduce their risk by learning the warning signs of today’s most common scams.

    1. Government and Business Imposter Scams

    A caller, email, or text may claim to come from the IRS, Social Security Administration, Federal Trade Commission, police department, bank, utility company, or another trusted organization.

    Scammers often say that your account has been compromised, you owe money, or you face arrest unless you act immediately. They may even manipulate caller ID or send official-looking documents.

    How to avoid imposter scams

    • Do not trust caller ID alone.
    • Hang up and contact the organization using its official website or published phone number.
    • Never move money to “protect” it.
    • Government agencies will not demand payment through gift cards, cryptocurrency, gold, or cash delivered to a courier.
    • Do not provide account passwords, PINs, verification codes, or Social Security numbers after an unexpected contact.

    The FTC advises consumers never to transfer money, cryptocurrency, or gold after an unsolicited call or message. Anyone directing you to move money for its protection is attempting a scam. Read more from the FTC’s imposter scam guide⁠.

    2. Phishing Emails and Text-Message Scams

    Phishing messages imitate banks, delivery companies, toll agencies, streaming services, employers, and government offices. Common messages claim that a package is delayed, a toll remains unpaid, an account will be closed, or suspicious activity requires immediate attention.

    The included link may lead to a fake website designed to steal login credentials, banking information, or credit-card numbers. The FBI explains that these sites can closely resemble legitimate financial or commercial websites. Learn about phishing and spoofing from the FBI⁠.

    How to avoid phishing scams

    • Do not click links in unexpected emails or text messages.
    • Open the company’s official app or type its website address directly into your browser.
    • Inspect email addresses carefully for misspellings or unusual domains.
    • Never share a login verification code with someone who contacts you.
    • Delete messages that demand immediate payment or personal information.

    3. Investment and Cryptocurrency Scams

    Investment scammers promise guaranteed returns, exclusive opportunities, or profits with little or no risk. Some build relationships through social media or dating apps before recommending a fraudulent cryptocurrency platform.

    A fake account dashboard may appear to show growing profits, but victims are later told to pay additional fees or taxes before withdrawing their money.

    How to avoid investment scams

    • Be skeptical of guaranteed or unusually high returns.
    • Research the investment professional and company independently.
    • Do not invest based solely on advice from someone you met online.
    • Never send cryptocurrency to “unlock” earnings or protect an account.
    • Avoid opportunities that pressure you to act before conducting research.

    The FBI warns that no legitimate investment can guarantee a return. Review the FBI’s investment fraud guidance⁠.

    4. Romance Scams

    Romance scammers create fake profiles on dating apps and social media, quickly building trust and emotional connections. They frequently avoid meeting in person while claiming to work overseas, serve in the military, travel extensively, or face a personal emergency.

    Eventually, the scammer requests money for travel, medical care, legal problems, business expenses, or an investment.

    How to avoid romance scams

    • Be cautious when an online relationship develops unusually quickly.
    • Conduct a reverse-image search on profile photographs.
    • Discuss the relationship with a trusted friend or family member.
    • Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or banking information to someone you have not met.
    • Stop communicating when someone repeatedly avoids video calls or in-person meetings.

    The FBI’s romance scam guidance⁠ explains how criminals use fake identities and emotional manipulation to gain trust before asking for money.

    5. Job and “Task” Scams

    Job scammers pose as recruiters offering remote positions with high salaries, flexible schedules, and little experience required. They may conduct interviews through text messages, send fake checks for equipment, or require applicants to pay for training.

    Task scams promise commissions for completing simple online activities. Victims may initially receive a small payment before being required to deposit larger amounts or purchase cryptocurrency.

    How to avoid job scams

    • Verify openings on the employer’s official careers page.
    • Research the recruiter’s name, email address, and company.
    • Be suspicious of interviews conducted entirely through messaging apps.
    • Never pay for a job or send money to begin working.
    • Do not deposit a check and forward part of the money to another person.
    • Never use your personal bank account to transfer money for an employer.

    6. Tech-Support Scams

    A pop-up, phone call, or email may claim that your computer has a virus or your account has been hacked. The scammer may request remote access to your device, install unwanted software, or demand payment for unnecessary repairs.

    How to avoid tech-support scams

    • Do not call numbers displayed in unexpected security pop-ups.
    • Never give remote access to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
    • Contact the device manufacturer or software provider directly.
    • Close the browser or restart the device if a suspicious pop-up will not disappear.
    • Never pay for technical support with gift cards, cryptocurrency, or a wire transfer.

    The FTC’s tech-support scam guide⁠ notes that scammers prefer payment methods that are difficult to reverse.

    7. Online Shopping, Marketplace and Rental Scams

    Scammers advertise nonexistent products, pets, concert tickets, vehicles, apartments, and vacation rentals. Prices are often significantly lower than comparable listings, and the seller may demand a deposit before allowing an inspection.

    How to avoid marketplace and rental scams

    • Search the seller’s name, phone number, and listing photographs.
    • Compare the price with similar listings.
    • Inspect property or merchandise before paying whenever possible.
    • Use the platform’s approved payment system and buyer protections.
    • Avoid sellers demanding gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or payment outside the platform.
    • Never pay a rental deposit before verifying the property and owner.

    8. Family Emergency and Grandparent Scams

    A caller may pretend to be a child, grandchild, lawyer, police officer, or hospital employee. Some scammers use artificial intelligence to imitate a loved one’s voice.

    The caller claims there has been an accident, arrest, kidnapping, or medical emergency and insists that the situation remain secret.

    How to avoid family emergency scams

    • Hang up and call the family member directly.
    • Contact another relative to verify the story.
    • Create a private family verification word.
    • Ask a question that a stranger could not answer from social media.
    • Never send cash to a courier or pay through gift cards or cryptocurrency.

    9. Prize, Lottery and Sweepstakes Scams

    Scammers tell victims they have won money, a vacation, or another prize—but must first pay taxes, processing costs, or delivery fees.

    How to avoid prize scams

    • Remember that legitimate sweepstakes do not require payment to receive a prize.
    • Do not provide banking or Social Security information.
    • Be suspicious if you did not enter the contest.
    • Never deposit a check and return a portion of the funds.
    • Ignore demands for gift-card or cryptocurrency payments.

    10. Payment-App and Gift-Card Scams

    Payment apps are designed to send money quickly, which can make recovery difficult. Scammers may impersonate a bank employee, buyer, seller, friend, or relative and ask for an immediate transfer.

    Gift cards are another major warning sign. No legitimate government agency or business will require gift cards as payment. The FTC’s gift-card scam guidance⁠ advises consumers never to share a gift-card number or PIN with an unexpected caller.

    How to avoid payment scams

    • Confirm payment requests directly with the person involved.
    • Review the recipient’s name before sending money.
    • Never return an alleged accidental payment by starting a new transaction.
    • Do not share gift-card numbers, PINs, or photographs.
    • Stop when someone dictates exactly how and where you must pay.

    Major Scam Warning Signs

    Stop communicating when someone:

    • Creates a sudden emergency
    • Pressures you to act immediately
    • Demands secrecy
    • Requests gift cards, cryptocurrency, gold, cash, or a wire transfer
    • Promises guaranteed profits
    • Asks for passwords, PINs, or verification codes
    • Tells you to move money for its protection
    • Refuses to let you independently verify the story

    What to Do If You Have Been Scammed

    Act quickly, but do not feel embarrassed. Scammers are trained to manipulate emotions and create believable situations.

    1. Contact your bank, credit union, card issuer, payment app, or gift-card company immediately.
    2. Ask whether the transaction can be stopped, recalled, or disputed.
    3. Change compromised passwords and enable multifactor authentication.
    4. Save emails, text messages, receipts, usernames, phone numbers, and transaction records.
    5. Report fraud to the Federal Trade Commission⁠.
    6. Report internet-enabled fraud to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center⁠.
    7. Use IdentityTheft.gov⁠ for a personalized recovery plan if personal information was stolen.
    8. File a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Justice⁠ or call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.
    9. Contact local law enforcement if money was stolen or you are being threatened.

    Protect Your Accounts Before a Scam Happens

    Use a unique password for every important account, turn on automatic software updates, and enable multifactor authentication for email, banking, social media, and payment accounts. CISA recommends MFA because it adds another identity check beyond a password and makes unauthorized access more difficult. Learn more from CISA⁠.

    Most importantly, pause before responding. A few minutes spent verifying a message can prevent significant financial loss. If you need help in Raleigh contact BTDesigns.pro

  24. Palestinian Arrested In Quezon City For Stealing Money Bag

    For some time now, I have been monitoring the criminal acts committed by people who are present in different countries as foreigners. Here in the Philippines, a Palestinian man was arrested in Quezon City for stealing a bag containing a lot of cash from the café of a hotel, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

    As it turns out, the Palestinian already has a history of committing other forms of crime. Could it be possible that, apart from violence and terrorism, theft and an obsession of committing crime are parts of the Palestinian nature?

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

    A 36-year-old Palestinian man was arrested after allegedly taking a money bag containing P5,020 and an empty cash box from a hotel café on Timog Avenue in Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City, at around 11:06 p.m. on Thursday, July 23.

    The suspect, identified as “Ham,” was intercepted by hotel security personnel at the establishment’s exit after the incident was detected through the hotel’s CCTV monitoring system.

    Initial investigation showed that the suspect entered the café and allegedly took the money bag and empty cash box without the knowledge or consent of the 24-year-old male cashier.

    Recovered from the suspect were P5,020 in various peso bills and coins, the cash bag, the empty cash box, and a backpack.

    Personnel of Kamuning Police Station (PS 10) later responded and took custody of the suspect from the hotel security personnel.

    Further verification showed that the suspect had previous criminal records for estafa, unjust vexation, resistance and disobedience to a person in authority, use of a fictitious name, and concealing his true name in October 2025, as well as theft in May 2026.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are there a lot of Palestinians living in your local community right now? Are you aware of the fact that a lot of Palestinians follow Islamic terrorists as their leaders? How many Palestinians do you think are present all over the Philippines today? Did you notice an increase of the number of foreign Islamists in your local community over the past twelve months? Do you think the national government is secretly allowing Palestinians to enter the Philippines as high-priority refugees with immigration in mind?

    You may answer in the comments below. If you prefer to answer privately, you may do so by sending me a direct message online.

  25. Spectrum Sued After Massive Data Breach Allegedly Exposes 40 Million Customer Records: What Raleigh Customers Need to Know

    Thousands of Spectrum customers across North Carolina—including many in Raleigh and Wake County—could be impacted after Charter Communications, the parent company of Spectrum, was hit with multiple class-action lawsuits following a massive cybersecurity incident that allegedly exposed the personal information of more than 40 million customers.  

    If you’re a Spectrum Internet, TV, Mobile, or Home Phone customer, here’s what you should know.

    What Happened?

    According to multiple lawsuits filed in federal court, hackers allegedly gained access to Spectrum customer information during an April 2026 cyberattack.

    Investigators believe attackers used a voice phishing (vishing) attack to compromise an employee’s account before accessing customer data stored in a Salesforce system. The breach was publicly disclosed in late May 2026.  

    Information That May Have Been Exposed

    The compromised information may include:

    • Full names
    • Home addresses
    • Email addresses
    • Phone numbers
    • Spectrum account details
    • Customer support records
    • Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)
    • Service plan information

    At this time, investigators continue to determine the full scope of the breach.  

    How Does This Affect Raleigh and North Carolina Customers?

    Spectrum is one of the largest internet and cable providers serving Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Garner, Apex, and much of the Triangle.

    If you’re currently a Spectrum customer—or were one during early 2026—you may have had information included in the breach.

    Even if no financial information was exposed, cybercriminals often use stolen personal data to:

    • Launch phishing scams
    • Commit identity theft
    • Attempt account takeovers
    • Create convincing scam emails or phone calls

    Customers should remain alert for suspicious emails, text messages, and phone calls claiming to be from Spectrum.

    What Should Spectrum Customers Do?

    Security experts recommend:

    • Change your Spectrum password immediately.
    • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever available.
    • Monitor bank and credit card accounts for suspicious activity.
    • Place a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus if necessary.
    • Watch for an official notification from Spectrum regarding your account.
    • Be cautious of unsolicited calls requesting personal information.

    Can Raleigh Customers Join the Lawsuit?

    Several proposed class-action lawsuits have already been filed against Charter Communications.

    Generally, you may qualify if:

    • You were a Spectrum customer during the affected time period.
    • Your personal information was exposed.
    • You receive an official data breach notification from Spectrum.

    At this stage, these lawsuits are proposed class actions, meaning no settlement has been reached and no court has determined liability.  

    How to Join the Lawsuit

    If you believe you were affected:

    1. Keep any letter or email you receive from Spectrum regarding the breach.
    2. Document any fraudulent activity or identity theft.
    3. Contact an attorney handling Spectrum data breach cases if you’re interested in participating.
    4. Monitor official court filings and settlement websites for future updates if the cases are certified as class actions.  

    Remember that joining a lawsuit is optional. If the cases later become certified class actions and result in a settlement, eligible customers are often notified about how to submit a claim.

    Bottom Line

    For many Raleigh-area residents, Spectrum is their primary provider for internet, television, and mobile service. While there is currently no evidence that every customer’s data has been misused, the alleged exposure of up to 40 million customer records highlights the growing importance of monitoring personal information and practicing good cybersecurity habits.

    DoRaleigh.com will continue following developments and provide updates if new information, settlements, or customer notifications become available.

    • Email addresses
    • Phone numbers
    • Spectrum account details
    • Customer support records
    • Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)
    • Service plan information

    At this time, investigators continue to determine the full scope of the breach.  

    How Does This Affect Raleigh and North Carolina Customers?

    Spectrum is one of the largest internet and cable providers serving Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Garner, Apex, and much of the Triangle.

    If you’re currently a Spectrum customer—or were one during early 2026—you may have had information included in the breach.

    Even if no financial information was exposed, cybercriminals often use stolen personal data to:

    • Launch phishing scams
    • Commit identity theft
    • Attempt account takeovers
    • Create convincing scam emails or phone calls

    Customers should remain alert for suspicious emails, text messages, and phone calls claiming to be from Spectrum.

    What Should Spectrum Customers Do?

    Security experts recommend:

    • Change your Spectrum password immediately.
    • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever available.
    • Monitor bank and credit card accounts for suspicious activity.
    • Place a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus if necessary.
    • Watch for an official notification from Spectrum regarding your account.
    • Be cautious of unsolicited calls requesting personal information.

    Can Raleigh Customers Join the Lawsuit?

    Several proposed class-action lawsuits have already been filed against Charter Communications.

    Generally, you may qualify if:

    • You were a Spectrum customer during the affected time period.
    • Your personal information was exposed.
    • You receive an official data breach notification from Spectrum.

    At this stage, these lawsuits are proposed class actions, meaning no settlement has been reached and no court has determined liability.  

    How to Join the Lawsuit

    If you believe you were affected:

    1. Keep any letter or email you receive from Spectrum regarding the breach.
    2. Document any fraudulent activity or identity theft.
    3. Contact an attorney handling Spectrum data breach cases if you’re interested in participating.
    4. Monitor official court filings and settlement websites for future updates if the cases are certified as class actions.  

    Remember that joining a lawsuit is optional. If the cases later become certified class actions and result in a settlement, eligible customers are often notified about how to submit a claim.

    Bottom Line

    For many Raleigh-area residents, Spectrum is their primary provider for internet, television, and mobile service. While there is currently no evidence that every customer’s data has been misused, the alleged exposure of up to 40 million customer records highlights the growing importance of monitoring personal information and practicing good cybersecurity habits.

  27. Spectrum Sued After Massive Data Breach Allegedly Exposes 40 Million Customer Records: What Raleigh Customers Need to Know

    Thousands of Spectrum customers across North Carolina—including many in Raleigh and Wake County—could be impacted after Charter Communications, the parent company of Spectrum, was hit with multiple class-action lawsuits following a massive cybersecurity incident that allegedly exposed the personal information of more than 40 million customers.  

    If you’re a Spectrum Internet, TV, Mobile, or Home Phone customer, here’s what you should know.

    What Happened?

    According to multiple lawsuits filed in federal court, hackers allegedly gained access to Spectrum customer information during an April 2026 cyberattack.

    Investigators believe attackers used a voice phishing (vishing) attack to compromise an employee’s account before accessing customer data stored in a Salesforce system. The breach was publicly disclosed in late May 2026.  

    Information That May Have Been Exposed

    The compromised information may include:

    • Full names
    • Home addresses
    • Email addresses
    • Phone numbers
    • Spectrum account details
    • Customer support records
    • Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)
    • Service plan information
